I'm sure I've heard this like ~5 years ago when someone was telling me about Redemption and Revolver, think they said the next would be Retribution as his son but 5 years ago was a long time and I didn't care about the series.

Several months is nothing for Rockstar. The GTA V trailer came out two years prior to the game.

As I said non GTA titles. Otherwise if I go by the previous Red Dead, the first official trailer arrived only 1 year before the game in May 2009. GTA titles tend to be the only ones they showcase so far in advance.

Max Payne 3 and L.A. Noire's* official final build ups only started several months before release. Both had their first official trailers around several months earlier in the previous year before release, followed by several technical videos showcasing parts of the game, and two other trailers including a launch one in May.

Some of those look a match for the characters in Red Dead Revolver. The guy with the bowler hat is Jack Swift, the woman on the end is Annie Stokes, the guy with the long coat is General Diego, etc. making one of the guys with the hats "Red." I was going to say the middle, but it still looks like Marsden (it is supposed to be a prequel right?)
